Thanks! I was looking at the icons on the right side of the screen and completely missed the ones on the left. Even worse, I completely glossed over the typed section "Notes: Arc of Destruction is unaffected by arc changes. I hear you on TW. It may indeed be the king of cones of melee attacks regardless of gauntlet. But the particular thing I am chasing now is the set that has the most cones that ARE effected by gauntlet bonus. Looking at the red exclamation icons, it seems that Dual Blades and Staff keep the arc modifier. Too bad I can't do Shield with either of those. So next question: What Primary benefits the most from gauntlet? I think it's Bio, Dark, Fire, and Rad as they each have a few PBAoEs.

A discussion Ukase started about the cone attack, Frost, made me think about tanks and cones and the benefit they get from the new and improved Gauntlet. So what combos would benefit the most? Titan Weapons is the only set with three cones so that would be my initial choice except that I vaguely remember that TW or some of its attacks were excluded. I tried to seek guidance from Uberguy's CoD, but I didn't find it. After that, Claws, Dual Blades, Spines and Staff each have two. Leviathan Mastery has three! And then Fighting and Force of Will have one more each for a total of 7, or 8 with TW. What would you guys make to be a king of cones? Bonus points for adding a Mids build, but I'm happy just talking about it.

As you said: So assume, for the sake of argument, that at base your attack will hit anything between the center point at the bottom of your illustration to somewhere halfway between that point and the semi-circles marked 45 degrees. That's not a lot of ground covered. But improving it by 50% to get to the 45 degree line and you get MORE than 50% more ground covered because it is expanding as it travels out. So I think that you are correct in concept but maybe need a bot more +range or a slight adjustment before firing to hit the most possible. PS - I had a thought that you might be able to do some practicing on the RWZ dummies to get a feel for the range and the angle. Or use one of those neat Aeon temp power dummies, if you have one.

Question: Can a writer make a misogynistic, patriarchal, conceited, sociopath? If so, then what's the problem? If not, why not?

11-15-25 = Brute, dark melee/energy aura Hmmm . . . That sounds like a decent pairing and one I haven't played before. While I do have a bunch of dark melee, I only have a couple of energy aura. Strong defense and light resist backed by -tohit, two heals, some regen, and endurance for days. I came up with a build: And thus was born: COSMIC FLEA! Strange alien powered by Dark Energy.

Not GASPR? My initial thought was a rad/dark melee tank. The aura and ground zero do -def, 2 heals, 3 end recovery, and soul drain for tohit. Yes, I know that soul drain needs to hit, but if used in a crowd chances are you'll hit at least a couple of critters.

Seems to me that the new marketer should be happy he/she doesn't have to compete with Ukase. Enjoy your retirement, old man! *scurries off to fill Ukase's niches*

I submit for consideration the use of one or more global channels to recruit for raids/events and/or use your global friends list to politely ask your buddies if they would be willing to temporarily transfer a character over to help out now and then. I don't think you'll get a giant wave of people doing that, but if you got 5 to 10 good players that's more than enough to make or break a raid. Personally, I wouldn't want to merge servers unless they got to single digits worth of players on concurrently.

I tend to make a character and play them all the way to 50 and usually 50+3. I currently have 40 level 50s. They all belong to the same SG and, as others have said, I use the Bins for storage of frequently used or very rare IOs (eg. ATOs, HOs, PvPIO procs, etc.). I also use my only salvage storage for catalysts exclusively. It's super convenient to hit 50 and then run to the base to grab a dozen to several dozen catalysts to make my ATOs and WinterOs superior. Once one of my characters hits 50 I usually get an idea for another pairing or a name that implies certain powers and start work on a new character with a starting gift of 200-300 thousand inf. When I can't think of anything new, or sometimes just for the heck of it, I'll log in each character starting with the ones that have been logged out the longest. I'll then check their /ah for sales and purchases and craft/convert/sell some new stuff; see if they have any catalysts to store, and then check their accolade and incarnate status to see if I want to work on those for a bit before moving on to the next old character. I also will check their day job status before logging out using the BadgeSetList popup. See here: I don't delete characters, or strip them. In the history of CoH I think I have deleted two characters that I played - a plant/thorn dominator that I made right when CoV came out but I could never get into it, and an AR/Devices named Osama been Hidin' that got genericed and it killed the vibe. Other than that, I sometimes have a craving to play a certain AT or powerset, or someone asks for something in particular for a theme run or hard TF and will use the search function to look by AT or powers. Anyway, that's what I do. It may or may not work for you.

The HC Discord also has a weekly chart here - https://discord.com/channels/572090223115239444/578851574412214272 I wonder if anyone has older screencaps of that page or if they are archived anywhere.

If, for whatever reason, this request cannot be done, could we at least move that dang pop up box off of the center of the screen?

I tend to buy attuned enhancements for most of my build and slot them as soon as I can. That way the build levels as I do and I get the benefits of all the set bonuses on the way up. I sometimes use purples in the final build that I slot at 50, but still use some other attuned set on the way up. The sacrifice is that I then can't boost those attuned enhancements, but I tend not to use boosters too much beyond generic IOs, like +5 recharge in Hasten or +5 endurance reduction in Assault.

While there were certainly PvPers who were rude and poor sports, to be fair one must also acknowledge that many PvPers were verbally abused for the mere act of engaging in PvP without uttering a word.

Where?

Damn. I'm sorry to hear that. I don't think I ever played with him but I've certainly read his posts on the forums many times. Always sad to hear of another hero passing, but I guess that is part of getting older. RIP, Rathulfr

Pre-13 PvP was fun for me and made more sense, but it was broken in different ways. There were always certain powersets and combos that were greatly superior than others and a few powersets and combos that were just terrible. That's still true, but some of the premier and bottom tier combos have changed. I would not want a reversion to I13 nor do I wish for their to be another complete re-do of the PvP system. The current devs have been working with the few dedicated PvPers that remain and have made some requested changes to improve PvP based on that discussion. I support that continuing. If you want fun, easy, relatively fair but competitive PVP try getting a group of people to roll new toons up to level 5 or 10 and stop. No IOs. That's fun as hell to me.

So we're different factions and we're different speeds. And different ATs have different HPs. It's obvious you'll own me though I've done nothing wrong. I only want this badge so what could I have done?

What if you reverse the polarity of the blilateral kelilactirals then route it through the Heisenberg compensators? That just might work!

I have a Poison/Ice Defender at 50+3, Toxic Flea, and a Plant/Poison Controller, Biotic Flea -- also 50+3. I find that Poison pairs particularly well with Ice and Controllers as it has some strong holds that can stack with others. The biggest problem poison has, IMO, is that [Venomous Gas] is the premier power of the set but it's quickly detoggled if you get mezzed. That's why I also like using [Rune of Protection], [Indomitable Will], and [Clarion Radial Epiphany] to keep those mezzes from happening. While I wouldn't mind a buff (can I have Traps version of Poison Trap? Pleeeeeease?) I think it's a fine set that is underrated.

That number doesn't include global acc bonuses. Just like clicks don't show the recharge from Hasten or other global bonuses. So what you have is .8 x 1.18 = .944
